Technology
Forever Young BBL
Forever Young BBL is a treatment approach that uses regular, repeated BBL sessions over time to address accumulated pigment, redness, and visible photodamage.
Forever Young BBL skin maintenance
Understanding Forever Young BBL.
Forever Young BBL is a treatment approach built on Sciton's BBL BroadBand Light platform. What sets it apart is the rhythm: regular, repeated sessions kept up over time. It treats the visible build-up of sun exposure and aging, such as uneven brown pigment, redness and general sun damage, and works as an ongoing maintenance plan for your skin. Treatments are performed by our senior laser technicians, under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame.
How does Forever Young BBL work?
Each session uses the same BroadBand Light technology: filtered light is absorbed by pigment and by the small blood vessels behind redness, which helps even out skin tone and reduce visible sun damage. The idea behind Forever Young BBL is repetition. Sessions are spaced through the year so improvements are maintained and new sun damage is treated as it appears. Laboratory research, including work that began at Stanford University, has looked at whether regular BBL is linked with favourable changes in skin gene expression, and that research is ongoing.
What Forever Young BBL improves
Forever Young BBL suits people who want to treat and maintain sun-related pigmentation and sun damage, along with redness, over time. It's usually used on areas that see a lot of sun, such as the face, neck, chest and hands, and it can also help fade lingering acne marks. It's part of our pigmentation and sun-damage treatment.
We set how often you come in based on your skin type and goals.

Benefits of Forever Young BBL
Forever Young BBL is built for maintenance. Treating regularly keeps pigment and redness in check and addresses new sun damage as it builds up, so your skin stays clearer and more even year to year. It uses the same versatile BroadBand Light platform, so each session can be tuned to your skin and concerns. Individual results vary.
Daily sun protection is the best partner for this program. You'll find sunscreens and antioxidant skincare in our online shop.
Safety, side effects and considerations
Forever Young BBL uses the same BroadBand Light platform, so its safety profile matches BBL. Protective eyewear is worn for every session, and your skin and health history are reviewed before you start an ongoing program and again if anything changes.
Common and temporary
- Redness and warmth, sometimes with mild swelling
- Pigmented spots that darken briefly and flake away over several days
- Where redness is treated, faint purple marks similar to light bruising, which fade without treatment
Less common risks
- Blistering or crusting
- Changes in skin pigmentation, usually temporary and rarely lasting. These are more likely in deeper or recently tanned skin tones, so settings are chosen carefully for your skin.
- A flare of melasma, which can respond to light and heat. If you have melasma, we'll plan around it.
- Fine new vessels (matting) near an area treated for redness
- A cold sore flare after facial treatment, if you're prone to them
When treatment may need to wait
- Pregnancy
- A recent tan or self-tanner on the area
- Current or recent isotretinoin. We'll let you know how long to wait.
- Photosensitizing medicines or light-sensitive conditions
- A chemical peel or resurfacing treatment in the area recently
- A tendency to keloid or raised scars
- Cold sores in the past, when the face is treated. Let us know before your session, since an antiviral medicine may be suggested.
- A changing or unusual spot, which is checked medically first
Aftercare
Leave darkened spots to flake on their own, keep skincare gentle for a few days, and stay out of strong sun and heat while your skin settles. Daily sunscreen between sessions keeps your maintenance program working.
